Claustrophobia - claustrophobia

Japanese: 閉所恐怖 - へいしょきょうふ
Claustrophobia - claustrophobia
A pathological fear of small spaces with no closed exits (such as inside a train or airplane). The Western word is a compound of the Latin claustrum, meaning "bolt," and the Greek phobos, meaning "fear." People with this fear may avoid express trains and take local trains, or sit near the exit at the theater. Claustrophobia, along with agoraphobia, which is also a situational phobia, is considered a symptom of neurosis. [Shimosaka Kozo]

Japanese:
閉ざされた出口のないような狭い空間(例えば電車や飛行機の中)に対する病的なおそれ。西欧語は〈かんぬき〉を意味するラテン語claustrumと〈恐怖〉を意味するギリシア語phobosの合成にもとづく。このような恐怖を抱く人には,急行を避けて各駅停車の乗物に乗ったり,劇場では出口の近くに座るなどの行動がみられる。閉所恐怖は,同じく状況恐怖の一つである広場恐怖とともに神経症の症状と考えられる。【下坂 幸三】
